Paulaner Brauhaus is as authentic is at gets when it comes to Oktoberfest festivities. This Bowery brewery and restaurant is one of only six breweries officially pouring beer at the Oktoberfest in Munich. And there’s the food to match.
“All the dishes for Oktoberfest are traditional Bavarian fare that would be featured in the beer tents in Munich, and yet they are not only associated just with the Oktoberfest season,” Chef Daniel Kill, a Bavarian native and veteran of the Michelin-starred Wallsé Restaurant, described in a press release.

The Standard Biergarten
While The Standard may not be your first thought when it comes to Oktoberfest destinations, they certainly kicked it off right with a German Steuben Parade this past saturday. Now that the celebration is underway, it will host nightly activities like the first annual "Sausage Swallow” contest and even have a T-shirt gun on the premises. Reservations for Oktoberfeast, which runs from 6pm – 9pm, are limited and guests can choose between two different $150 platter offerings which serve 4 – 6 people. For an additional $60 per person beer for up to two hours, can be included with the dinner. This is definitely an option for the more upscale Oktoberfest celebrator.
